Times:

Airframe Time: 390 TTSN – “Dash One” High Gross Weight Wing
Engine: 390 TTSN (Superior Acro Sport XP-360 – Rated @ 180 HP)
Propeller: 390 TTSN – (Whirl Wind 200RV)

Empty Weight: 1155 Lbs.

Gross Weight: 1800 Lbs.

Overview:

The RV-8/8A provides the fighter-like feel of center-line seating, with a wide fuselage and cockpit that accommodates large people in comfort. Two baggage compartments, one forward and one aft, keep even large amounts of luggage well within the weight and balance envelope. Pilots up to 6’7″ fit in the front. A Tall Pilot option is available (It was used by one successful builder who describes himself as 6’ 10″, although we think he might be taller). Passengers almost as big find the rear seat fits them, too. Factory pilots have flown demo rides with passengers up to 6’9″ and 260 lbs. in the back seat.
The RV-8’s almost-perfect control balance and harmony and the excellent visibility make aerobatics a delight. At the aerobatic gross weight of 1600 lbs., the RV-8/8A complies with the +6/-3G standards of the FAA’s Aerobatic Category and can still carry two people, making it possible for a new pilot to get aerobatic instruction before he or she starts rolling and looping.
